Using Yahoo! Calendar on your website:

--------------------------------------...

Here are the steps :

1. Customize your Yahoo! Calendar.

2. Make this calendar public

3. Insert Iframe on the webpage where you want it to display and display Yahoo! Calendar in this Iframe.

By doing this, your Yahoo! Calendar page will appear on your existing website and your visitors will be able to view your schedule/events.

The details of the steps are:

Step-1:

-------

You can login to your Yahoo! Calendar service at:

http://calendar.yahoo.com

To add/edit any events of your calendar, you can visit the following link:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calenda...

If you face any issue any issue, you can click "Contact Customer Care" located at the bottom of each help page.

Step-2:

-------

Now you need to make your calendar public so that your visitors can view it. You can use the Calendar Sharing feature within Yahoo! Calendar to share your calendar with others. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Sign into your Yahoo! Calendar account:

http://calendar.yahoo.com

2. Click the "Calendar Options" link on the right side of your calendar page.

3. Click the "Sharing" link.

4. Select your sharing options. There are four sharing options available:

* "No one can view my calendar": By selecting this option, the calendar will not be visible by anyone.

* "Friends can view my calendar; Special Friends can also modify my calendar": By selecting this option, only your Yahoo! member friends can view the calendar after signing in to their own account, using the Yahoo! ID that is specified on the list. Special Friends (Yahoo! member) can view and modify your calendar. Special Friends IDs are in green text with a star.

* "Anyone can view my calendar": By selecting this option, any person (Yahoo! or non-Yahoo! member) who goes to your public URL can see events that are set as public.

* "Anyone can view my calendar; Special Friends can also modify my calendar": By selecting this option, any person (Yahoo! or non-Yahoo! member) who goes to your public URL can see events that are set as public. Special Friends (Yahoo! member) can view and modify your calendar.

5. Select a default event sharing option. There are three "Event Sharing" Options:

* Private: Others cannot see the event.

* Show as Busy: Others can see that an event is scheduled for the day, but there are no details.

* Public: Others can see the event details.

6. Click the "Save" button. If you chose to share your calendar, you must activate the Yahoo! Calendar sharing feature by clicking the "Activate Sharing" button.

For more details about sharing your calendar, you can visit following page:

Step-3:

-------

After following the above two steps, you can return to your Yahoo! SiteBuilder program and insert Iframe.

An Iframe, or inline frame, is a window within a web page that displays

content from another source, such as another web page. (here you will display your Yahoo! Calendar)

You can use Iframes just like any other page element and move or

position them anywhere on your web page. They divide a web page in

distinct sections that function independently of each other.

NOTE: Recent versions of most browsers support the use of Iframes;

however, older browsers, such as Netscape 4.x, may not properly display

the contents of an Iframe.

Using Iframes

Iframes can save you time and effort! Some users find Iframes a

convenient way to work with recurring text or page elements, such as

navigation bars, mastheads, or footers.

In SiteBuilder, you can easily insert iframes by following steps:

1. Open your concerned page in SiteBuilder where you want to display your calendar.

2. In the tool bar click on "Insert".

3. In the menu you click "Code Elements".

4. In the submenu you will find "Iframe", Click on this option.

Define properties of Iframe and click "OK"

NOTE: Select "Another website" and give URL

http://calendar.yahoo.com/yourYahoo!ID

Repace it with your Yahoo! ID.As this is your public URL.

Furthermore, I suggest that you always include the default border on

Iframes that will display non-original content. Omitting the border may

blur the distinction between the author's content and your own.

When you are done Publish or Upload the page to your website.
